đźš° 3. Can drain cleaner damage pipes?

This is a very important question.

Yes — some drain cleaners can damage pipes if they’re used incorrectly or too often. However, Triple Red is safe when:

  • Used in the recommended dosage
  • Poured directly into clogged or slow-draining pipes
  • Allowed to sit as directed, then flushed with water

It's designed to be safe on:

  • PVC piping
  • Copper and metal drains
  • Septic systems (if used occasionally)
⚠️ Do not mix with other cleaners or acids. Always wear gloves and ventilate the area.

🧬 4. Why is drain cleaner alkaline?

Great chemistry question.

Most powerful drain cleaners, like Triple Red, are alkaline-based because they:

  • Break down organic matter like hair, food, and grease
  • React with fatty acids to form soap, which washes away
  • Emulsify clogs so water can flow freely again

Alkaline drain cleaners are generally safer and more effective than acid-based ones, which can corrode pipes if misused.
